NYU Food Studies student curious about the role of the private sector in addressing our nation’s health crisis.

Incredible #innovation that we need to see more of! #Farmers responsible for this work should be rewarded for their efforts– this kind of thinking will sustain our #foodsystem into the #future. #NYUFA19 #foodwaste https://t.co/9D67nlsm1Y

#M&A in #foodandbeverage may be quiet, but they’re significant when they happen. They’ll continue to happen, so long as consumers keep pressuring #bigfood to offer #healthier options. Smaller companies still need time to grow. #NYUFA19 https://t.co/ayCC6f4s6e

#Acquisitions might take mainstream #food in a #betterforyou direction, but #employees need to closely monitor their #jobsecurity as this consolidation occurs. #NYUFA19 https://t.co/ZWCJEwtOaE

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

Something to consider for the future of U.S. #schoollunch programs. The challenge: the U.S. lacks a defined and unified #cuisine. How could we implement this while being inclusive of the many #cultures and #dietarypreferences we honor in our country? #NYUFA19

@NYFarmer @fge_kohlrabi @argacnik @Lola_mesa @Nestle Will definitely check it out, thank you!

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@Lola_mesa @argacnik @NYFarmer @Nestle Agreed, we would love if you could speak at our program and help the voice dairy farmers be heard! We’re not getting enough exposure to all sides of this conversation, and we’d welcome the opportunity to hear from you.

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@NYFarmer What are some ways that this power imbalance could be addressed?

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

Want to reduce your #waste at sporting events? Try Ball's new #recyclable #aluminum cups. This innovative sustainability initiative seems like a no-brainer; I hope other stadiums and event venues follow the trend. https://t.co/1Ln8MlizU1 #NYUFA19

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@NYFarmer @Chobani Definitely don’t hope for destruction of upstate farm communities; I’m sorry my opinions came across in that way. I have tremendous respect for dairy farmers and I consume dairy often. How do you suggest we support dairy farmers amidst declining consumer demand for dairy?

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

This decision makes total sense for #Chobani, who’s wise to keep up with the #plantbased movement. How much longer is #dairy here to stay? #NYUFA19

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@NYFarmer Article mentions that some consumers are choosing to switch to the plant-based movement for ethical reasons

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

Great analysis of the trends influencing the plant-based meat movement. #Ethics, personal #health, and the well-being of the #planet have the most weight. #NYUFA19 https://t.co/C99E1Bbbui

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@NYFarmer Hugely problematic. More attention needs to be brought to the issue of waste and how it’s affecting communities like these.

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

@NYFarmer I’m not a dairy farmer myself and I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it would be to forge a brand new path of survival. That said, it’s important for all of us to keep up with the dynamic trends of the food industry so that we can prepare accordingly.

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

Revenue generated by a select few = #consolidation of our #foodsystem. We're stuck with the big guys for now, but if they produce healthier, more sustainable products through #marketresearch + more #acquisitions, maybe this isn't such a bad thing? #NYUFA19 https://t.co/gKQRi3lKTG

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

Some #foodbrands are so well-established that new market trends only require them to make slight modifications. #LuckyCharms fans can trust that their favorite cereal (now #glutenfree and with #lesssugar) won’t be disappearing anytime soon. #NYAFA19

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

New #consumer #eating habits are catching #bigfood off guard - clear from this interesting partnership. Are #GeneralMills’ #sugary #cereals and #yogurts on their way to becoming obsolete? #NYUFA19

https://t.co/U9i5zkCDd2

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

While it seems like #CocaCola could be late to the #sparklingwater game, its vast distribution network gives them a huge advantage over smaller brands. #NYUFA19 https://t.co/SsJo5fetmn

#Snacking isn't going away anytime soon. Companies who target health-conscious snackers will reap the greatest long-term benefits. #NYUFA19 https://t.co/njbRNJf7jG

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

For the sake of the environment, #regenerativeagriculture needs to be the future of #farming. How can we get more companies like #generalmills to commit to this approach? #NYUFA19 https://t.co/raVnjW66Wi

[Ellyson Beyer @ellysonbeyer]

#Foodandtech keeps gaining momentum, but will initiatives like this high-tech #Sweetgreen amplify the distancing that already exists between ourselves, our food, and other humans? #NYUFA19 https://t.co/6rtlhwa80q
